She left this world much the way she came in,
still kicking and screaming and conceived in sin....

Mimi and Mary T.
By

M P Walsh


It was 25 December,
And a snug-warm Christmas day.
The temp was over 50,
The weather: bright, not gray.

But a sadness on this Sunday fair
Perplexed me...what was wrong?
As I left the cape with Judy,
Our intention?...visit mom.

It took two hours to get there,
In our...

A small study lamb, 
a tea cup with sharpened lead pencils 
(number two),
 polished wooden panels:
walls dressed in masks
 (African vodun mugs).  

An old stone fireplace with
portrait of a colored girl 
dancing above stained hardwood mantel.

Mimi, with a mind as dull as the room,
hung...

Mimi is my fond, constant companion, my nearest and dearest loyal friend,
Mimi makes golden, precious days brighter, like orange sun that never ends.

Mimi has the rare gift for loving, that causes one to respond in like fashion,
For if you knew her, you'd love her too,...

La Boheme Series Haiku — Mimi Dies


songs call love ~
bread with wine beg warmth ~
too late come some chances granted

Mimi  McFudge was her name, and she wanted a tree 
that would really make her Christmas glow 
so, she cut one herself and decked it from head to toe
but when it started prancing with bells and whistles too 
it began to talk like a...

A rainy Sunday afternoon 
Cold and gray, yet I'm immune

For sitting here right next to me
Natural beauty in human form

A roaring fire, a cup of tea
In woolen socks, my heart is warm

There's no place else I'd rather be
Blissfully oblivious to any storm

A rainy Sunday afternoon...

Sweet little Mimi ran, up and down,
Here and there round and round,
Pink color ribbons, lacy frock,
"Mamma, mamma see my doll,
She calls me mamma when she plays,
I hold her hands like you do always".
"Mamma, mamma see her sing,
The way you do when I sleep".
Sweet little mimi...

Tainted kisses,
silent misgivings,
frantic limbs and souls
struggling against a deep freeze,
always trying to reach
for some sort of safety
in the midst of 
emotional squalor.
I remember you,
trying to cut the tie
with no clear cut ending,
that was a long time ago,
but for what it’s worth,
when I close my eyes,
I...

Kuwakomboa Mimi bwana
Kuwakomboa Mimi Mungu              
Redeem me Lord
Redeem me God
This is my sincere prayer, my prayer;
Hii ni maombi yangu ya dhati;
This is my, this is my sincere prayer;
Hii ni maombi yangu ya...

Mimi Kanawa lives on

A sore thumb in the rain

Creditor she preferred

A debtor she stood like a trout to bait

Hunger swallowed her so

But death stung her not

Being a hard row to hoe.

Mimi Kanawa made a parting with the road

That was so well made

The price overtook her

Repeatedly...

Of childhood, a little story,
Mimi, fluffy dog, toy glory,
She lost an eye, tail wagged off,
Rubbed fur, not so toff,
But so well loved, I say,
Wish I still had her today!...

O to be a poet!
What must I do?
Need special rhymes
I pursue…

perhaps elegant forms 
transcending more common, 
like Midas touch
words golden~ a poet’s Mammon!

O when will an artist get honored
due – afford even a stove without a hand
operated flue; companion after companion
in wraps, out the door,...

your grandmother died
a few years back
the mean old witch
left you with a 'lil chunk of change
& lots of strings attached
you sista been "walking" dead for 
what, like, 5 years now
Mom's are queen of denial
just like us all 
maybe lessen the pain 
not face what's in...

Mimi ninastahili-I AM WORTHY

Mimi ninastahili
kwanini unaniangalia
Mimi ndiye
Sijakufanya chochote
Mimi ndiye
Kwa hivyo kupendeza,
bado unaniogopa
Angalia ndani yako mwenyewe
Mimi ninastahili
why you look at me
I am He
Mimi ninastahili
I've done nothing to you
I am He
Mimi ninastahili
So endearing,
yet still you're fearing me
Look inside yourself
Mimi ninastahili
I Am worthy
